Revolutionary Civilization of the Rural Community
Radomir D. Lukić
Abstract
Yugoslavia’s rural areas are undergoing changes which are so deep that they
may be described as revolutionary. However, these changes do not refer to agricultural
production but rather to the spread of urban civilization to rural areas.
The basic feature of this civilization process is the fact that the peasant begins
to despise his own rural community and former way of life and tries to escape to
town at any cost. The country’s general social culture, with its mass communication
media and elementary education, helps to promote these tendencies. This
has led to serious consequences for the rural community itself, because only those
of its inhabitants continue to live there who have no prospects elsewhere, and
they cannot ensure prosperity for the community or any major or modern agricultural
production.
